 *
 * Note: The class description below has been excerpted from the Hl7 2.4 documentation. Sectional
 * references made below also refer to the same documentation.
 *
 * The value of such a field follows the formatting rules for an ST field except
 * that it is drawn from a table of legal values. There shall be an HL7 table number
 * associated with ID data types. An example of an ID field is OBR-25-result status.
 * This data type should be used only for HL7 tables (see Section 2.7.6, "Table").
 * The reverse is not true, since in some circumstances it is more appropriate to use
 * the CE data type for HL7 tables.
